"I love working with bright, motivated clients to help them reach their full potential. I am a Princeton graduate with post-doctoral training in psychotherapy and leadership coaching. My style is warm, accepting, encouraging, and inquisitive. We will assess past and current ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating, and work on strategies to change the present. I maintain a small practice where I can focus on you. Clients I might be able to see will have a flexible schedule, will be highly motivated to change, and the focus of our work will be improving performance (athletic, professional, interpersonal, etc)."

"I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology and a speciality in Existential/ Humanistic psychology. I have experience working with individuals, couples and groups and in treating those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I assist those who are struggling with crisis in their lives, as well as those who seek to improve their relationships and increase satisfaction in their life. I provide therapy that helps clients gain an understanding of themselves and others. I provide IQ and personality assessments."

"Someone once said there are two kinds of people in the world: those who are trying to get better…and everyone else. Maybe you have tried therapy before and it didn't work, or maybe you’ve identified some more things that you wish to work on so you can progress further in your healing journey. Perhaps you just want to determine what you need to do to become the best you that you can be without being hindered by depression or anxiety. Either way, I'm glad you have found yourself here and no longer need to do this alone."

"Hello there! I moved to Colorado 3 years ago from the upper Midwest to take on a life changing career as a high school counselor. During my time working with adolescents both as a counselor and substitute teacher, I grew a strong appreciation for the current issues our youth experience on a daily basis. Currently, I work at an elementary school part-time as a school counselor. I have experience working on Ft. Carson as a counselor for our military families dealing with pre-marital and divorce issues as well as working with substance abuse and mental health in both the parole and prison setting."

"I want to assist you in becoming the person you'd like to be -- I believe in exploration of choices, the ability to grow, healing, recovery and change that comes because of action. In therapy, I take a holistic approach, meaning involving the mind and body. What can we identify that has prevented you from achieving your goals, whatever they may be? Everyone has strength areas. I want to recognize those with you and identify areas where growth would be beneficial to you. There's no time like the present to begin developing new skills and feeling better!"

"I am a licensed clinical social worker since 2010. I received my masters degree from Newman University in Colorado Springs. My personal difficulties taught me to be compassionate to myself and others. Asking questions instead of telling someone who they are is a tangible tool that leads to listening to our own truth instead of feeling okay only if someone else says we are. It can be difficult work, and the rewards are tremendous as we unwind the trauma to see the gifts hidden by the hurts. The journey from trauma to trust is a leap of faith. This is why I identify with the Phoenix as a way to come thru the ashes and move forward."

"Finding a therapist who can meet you where you are can be a challenging endeavor. Often people just try to "make it work" without finding someone with whom they can develop a therapeutic alliance. You need to find a person you feel comfortable with, who can help you reach your identified goals. I have a direct approach to therapy and confidently work with clients to make changes towards their values. Therapy is about gaining insight and perspective taking, and I help clients realize what matters most to them and achieve their individual goals."

"I have specialized in the treatment of trauma related problems and associated anxiety, anxiety disorders (panic, OCD, general anxiety), behavioral issues, and depression. I believe all people come equipped with the strength and internal resources necessary to heal. We are more than the pain that afflicts us or the symptoms that make our lives difficult. Helping those afflicted by trauma, anxiety, and depression is my passion. My goal is to aid in finding life's balance, to help others regain a sense of hope, and return from the past to find fulfillment in their present."

"At Colorado Family Counseling Center, we see clients with a variety of needs. Started in 2011, (known as Kelli Korn Counseling until 2018), we specialize in children, teens, families, adults, and couples. We work with each client to define their concerns and their goals for counseling to help them reach the best possible version of themselves. We use a variety of therapeutic techniques that fit best with each client and their individual strengths and goals. Therapists in our Colorado Springs location include Carolyn Hughes, LCSW; Julia Hultgren, LSW; and Krystal McMichael, LCSW."

"Shame is real and can drain the life from a person. I understand the pain of the words "should" and "must." They can bulldoze through a life, leaving behind the remains of broken self-esteem, mangled self-worth and a mutilated sense of identity. There is hope. Step-by-step I will walk alongside you as you discover freedom from expectations/norms/standards. You might be dissatisfied with life, overwhelmed by worry, or preoccupied with your past. I aim to help you uncover who you really are and help you build a future full of laughter, peace and wholeness."

"You are important and a unique human being. Therefore my services are completely client-centered and non-judgemental. Every one of us, at some point in our lives, need a little help. I am not only qualified in a diverse group of modalities to assist you, but I have encountered most of life's adversities myself. This has humbled me and gave me a deep understanding of human behavior and the psychological reasons behind the choices we make. You have taken a very important step today towards dealing with past emotional trauma, finding balance and peace in your life today and reaching your goals for the future. Nothing is impossible and for now, the only limit you have...is yourself. We become what we do not deal with. Once you have dealt with your past, there is no reason to hold on to it anymore. But until then, you will repeat your current negative behaviors in a vicious circle. This is an unconscious action that can only be dealt with once acknowledged and brought to the surface. Dealing with our pain is never easy, but it is so worth it. You are worth it!"

"Sexual health is important to your overall well-being. Let's work together to identify and resolve your sex & intimacy issues. I work with clients in a person-centered, non-judgmental way, creating an atmosphere of safety where intimate subjects can be freely discussed. Singles, couples, multi-partner relationships and other dynamics are equally respected. Clients of any gender identity and orientation are welcome."

"Are you interested in therapy but something is getting in your way? Maybe you don't have insurance or aren't able to pay the typical rates that therapists charge. Maybe you experience time constraints such as work commitments, frequent travel for work, or childcare duties. Maybe you don't have access to a reliable form of transportation to attend sessions or have unique needs that make receiving services in an office challenging. Perhaps there are no therapists in your geographic area. Or it could be that past therapists didn't take the time to understand your identities and social location, making therapy exhausting and unhelpful."

"Are life's challenges becoming more difficult? My goal is to help you find happiness, to live fully and laugh often. Sometimes that seems impossible. I believe that we all can find answers to life's challenges and the path to happiness. I believe in working with the whole person for emotional, spiritual and physical health."

"The relationship between client and therapist is essential to successful therapy. I seek to establish an empathetic, trusting relationship with clients, which provides the context for a deeper understanding of oneself and the difficulties bringing them to therapy. From this relational foundation, I work collaboratively with clients to find solutions to their problems."

"Seeking a counselor is a daunting task. Finding the right fit is so important and worth your time. I believe that some initial phone interviews can be a great way to decide who you connect with and then move forward with booking your first appointment. I am happy to help you get connected to the right therapist, if I am not best suited for your issue or needs. I rely on research based interventions. We will utilize your values, personality, goals, and support system to find the best path forward for you."

"At Elevation Counseling locations in Denver and Colorado Springs, I provide a straightforward, genuine approach to therapy that places the emphasis on counseling theory and practice equally on the cultural impression of both the therapist and the client. I am committed to offering counseling interventions that are individually tailored to you. Additionally, I believe that a counselor is only as good as his or her ability to connect with you, otherwise, personal growth in therapy may be limited. Therefore, establishing a balanced, supportive, and safe relationship with you is a paramount aspiration within my counseling framework."
